spinefarm: Assassin's Creed Revelations - Gold Edition(This includes the 3 DLC's) = 49,99 €
Saints Row 3 - 29,99€ + 12 DLC's - 45,38€ = 75,37 €

This don't look normal for me :) It looks like milking your customers for stuff cuted from the game :)

Pheace: I'm not a fan of 'milking with DLC' , however I saw the GF play through Saints Row the Third on release and I consider it a great game as is, without the need for DLC.

Also, that 45 Euro you picked for the DLC pack is misleading, because 14 Euro of those is for the Third Season Pass DLC pack, which is basically a pass to get 3 of the other DLC's (Trouble with Clones, Gangsta's in Space, Genkibowl, 3x 5.49 Euro)

The rest is mostly Vanity packs with a novelty weapon here or there, but the game isn't any less for it really. There's one pack to get more cheats in game ... lol.
Ok 60 euro without it.....yet a 10 euro diff :) I'm not talking about the game value as a game... to be honest SR3 is not my type of game... but I do consider it as a good game for many people. The point was that they sell content for 30 euros just to milk customers... and that is deffo bad for buisness :)

EA and 2K games are the same on that matter ...

For the recent releases of Ubisoft - only Anno 2070 and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood & Revelations had some DLC's that you can add to your game.

kavazovangel: Here's to hope that STALKER 2 and Metro Last Light get picked up by a good publisher.

999888: Only the first STALKER was published by THQ, and STALKER 2 doesn't have a publisher at all for the moment as far as I know.
This. Only Shadow of Chernobyl was published by THQ. Clear Sky was published by Deep Silver and Call of Pripyat was published by bitComposer.

Fred_DM: yes, considering Relic made many of THQ's best games, they are a very PC-oriented publisher, unlike UbiSoft. in the event that THQ does go down, i just hope that Relic find a decent new partner. just - dear God! - don't let it be UbiSoft. first they killed Massive and then Eugen Systems couldn't get outta there quick enough...
They could do a lot worse than Paradox, that's for sure. A PC-centric RTS developer would find a good home with them.

But whatever happens the rights to the Dawn of War games is going to be in jeopardy. If THQ does go under (which is looking very likely) then we certainly won't see those games on GOG.

Definitely a bad situation. So many franchises that I enjoy a lot are tied up in that company. And of course we're also talking about the employment of status of probably at least 1,000 people.

spinefarm: Because Ubisoft makes better games?

Fred_DM: joke?!?

first of all, that's probably subjective. if you're into strategy games, UbiSoft will do nothing for you. and apart from the Assassin's Creed series, and some individual titles like Anno 2070 and RUSE, what good games is UbiSoft supposed to have? the Tom Clancy games have become a joke. Driver was OK but badly ported. from my point of view, THQ has the better games.
Have you forgotten Rayman: Origins (released last March on PC without any DRM)? That game is awesome, but barely anyone buys it because it's Ubisoft (and Beyond Good and Evil 2 depends on it). And it's considered to be an excellent port.
